Based on today’s game, the players you can expect in tomorrow’s game against Seattle: Suzuki, Allen, Weeks, Pennington, Rosales, Crisp, Reddick, Ramirez, Smith and Gomes.

Though manager Bob Melvin told us yesterday that the Cactus League opener would have a near Opening Day look, today he said not to read too much into it. For instance, Manny Ramirez will DH tomorrow; he’s not eligible for Opening Day. It’s assumed that Yoenis Cespedes will play Opening Day and he won’t arrive here until Saturday or Sunday. And of course the first-base and third-base situations are unsettled, and so are the defensive positions in the outfield once Cespedes arrives.

Daric Barton had a cortisone shot for his right shoulder recently, Melvin said, so he won’t participate in games this weekend but might DH in a split-squad game Monday. Barton cannot play first until mid-March at the earliest after his September shoulder surgery.

Here’s broadcast into for this spring: Tomorrow’s game will be webcast on the A’s official site, and the weekend games, like all weekend games, will air on 95.7 FM in the Bay Area with Vince Cotroneo and Ray Fosse. Cotroneo will be on at 11:30 a.m. Pacific with the pregame show. The March 16 night game also will air on 95.7 FM.

For those wondering about the games in Japan, the two exhibitions will not be aired, but the regular-season games against Seattle will be on 95.7. MLB Network will air those games vs. the Mariners on a tape-delayed basis (the games begin at 3 a.m. and 2 a.m. Pacific, so tape delay seems sensible.) I’ll provide more info on those TV broadcasts as it becomes available.

The A’s have a brand-new scoreboard in right field at Phoenix Muni, and that’s an unexpected development. The old incandescent scoreboard broke and couldn’t be fixed in time for spring games, so a new, brighter, LED model that had been repo’d for non-payment was found. (It’s the city of Phoenix that eventually will get the bill for such things, but it’s still classic small-budget A’s to find a repo’d scoreboard that never had been put in use.) I’m told it has video capability (though it probably won’t be used for that this spring) and it’s more “green” than the old scoreboard. Also fitting for the A’s.
